YCDU SMCQDCODZIE 9 kipped school again?!?! Many found it un- : necessary to attend school very often. Some got away with it, but the majority didn't. To a type of student, any word dealing with :demics was like a foreign word. Homework?!?! lf are was one thing they didn't do, that was it. It is a never ending disease, plaguing many dents. I've always wondered how some of the ignments I've received will apply to my future, nments senior Ann Barham. lf one felt the urge go to class, paying attention was the furthest m their minds. Even the posters on the walls are more interesting than the teacher. Another favorite-a trip to the office. The ad- nistrators along with everyone else in the office e very familiar with this person. The fact that they and half the school day in there is probably the :in contributing factor to this. After being out of iss for so long, they decide not to go back. As ay roamed the halls an authoritative voice called t, Do you have a pass? Great, another trip to a office! The next day posed to be even more .citing-one full day of On Campus Assignment etter known as OCAJ. Sounds great, huh? Just br- ing a pillow and your day is made! All that is worth looking forward to is the bell, the main source of freedom. As one sits there in silence, it starts to seem more and more like a prison without cells. Finally the magical sound was heard and there they go, off to cause more trouble!! Qualities of a knock-off student are quite ob- vious. One is to have no ambition whatsoever. They have no incentive to accelerate in any kind of academically inclined areas. Nor does one see any reasoning in homework or closswork. Blowing off school is on the top ofthe list. Some believe there is no reason for certain studies, as sophomore Julie Alsobrooks explains, l think that some classes are really unnecessary to what we want to pursue in the future. Many find no reasonable motive in spending precious brain power on any kind of work. Relaxa- tion is the key word. But, as everyone will find out, life is not a bowl of cherries and always getting in trouble is not the way out. While some end up liv- ing in a life of bumming it, most people straighten up and become successful individuals.

Roaming the halls seemed to be a very popular way to spend time out of class. lt seems like high school has gone on forever since l'm a five-year graduate. I thank God that it's finally all over with! -Mike Perez
